Occasionally, I sit in the darkness of the night and look outside the floor-to-ceiling window as the rest of the city houses go to sleep, one by one. In those moments of silence, I begin to untangle the fairy lights of my mind. I try. And when the last house has shut its lights, I notice... Continue Reading →
The Burden of Idealism
It was late at night and the sector had gone to sleep. The shops were closed and the only sound that punctuated my inchoate thoughts was that of typing on my keyboard. My friend was having trouble with a software. Both of us had been up with the lark and had worked through the day... Continue Reading →
Wish Upon a Star
When I was younger, I used to spend time looking at the night sky. I used to look at the stars and feel a fascination flow through me. Whenever I did this, I felt someone up there was watching us. Someone who was so happy that he wanted me to share his happiness. Someone who... Continue Reading →

Turning The Wheel
I went to my previous organization on Halloween. Although I have moved on in terms of employment, somehow it still feels like home. Now that I look back, I feel that joining my previous organization was the best decision of my life. I made myself 2 years worth of memories and gathered all the happiness... Continue Reading →
When it comes from within
There is blessing in silence. In slowing down and stopping. In stopping and watching each moment of your life pass by. In counting your breaths and counting the stars in between of counting your breaths. In taking the time to walk and reflect on why we run. In looking at the distance and see the... Continue Reading →
